अस्मिन्ममानंदवने यदेतल्लिंगं सुधाधाम सुधामधाम । आसप्त पातालतलात्स्वयंभु समुत्थितं भक्तकृपावशेन
asminmamānaṃdavane yadetalliṃgaṃ sudhādhāma sudhāmadhāma | āsapta pātālatalātsvayaṃbhu samutthitaṃ bhaktakṛpāvaśena
في آَنَندَفَنَةِ خاصّتي، هذا اللِّينغا بعينه—مقامُ الرحيق ودارُ الخلود—قد نهض من تلقاء نفسه من أعماق طبقات پاتالا السبع، بدافع الرحمة بالمحبّين العابدين.
Śiva (contextual, within Kāśīkhaṇḍa glorification)
Tirtha: Ānandavana Svayaṃbhū Liṅga (within Kāśī-kṣetra)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Purāṇic interlocutor within Kāśīkhaṇḍa frame (traditionally Pārvatī/Skanda/ṛṣis depending on chapter frame)
Scene: From the depths of the seven pātālas, a radiant Liṅga rises upward into Ānandavana, suffused with amṛta-like light; devotees witness the emergence with tears and folded hands; Śiva’s compassion is the driving force.
Śiva’s presence in Kāśī is self-revealed and compassion-driven; the sacred form manifests for the uplift of devotees.
Ānandavana (Kāśī), centered on the self-manifest Liṅga associated with Viśveśvara.
No specific rite is commanded here; it establishes the Liṅga’s svayaṃbhu status, supporting worship (pūjā) and pilgrimage devotion.
